How do you care for Folkmanis puppets?Folkmanis puppets are surface-washable. They should never be completely submerged in water. Lukewarm water and a mild detergent can be used for spot cleaning your finger or hand puppets.
Wet and lather a sponge or cloth and wipe the soiled area. Try to avoid rubbing. Avoid wringing or twisting your puppet, as this can cause stretching or lumping.
Gently press your puppet between towels to dry, or hang it from a clothesline to air dry. Once it is dry, shake out your puppet.
Long-haired plush puppets can be refreshed by a vigorous shaking. Combing or brushing long-haired puppets is not recommended. Short-haired plush puppets can be brushed with a soft brush. Dont brush the eyes and ears of these puppets. Wipe them with a damp cloth.
